Jim's emporium liverpool. Junk paradise

In the basement of the grand central hall in Liverpool, often known as the new/old Quiggins, lies a cavern of wonders called jim's emporium.
If you're brave enough to stand the standard musty damp smells that come with a shop like this then you're in for a treat.
Here are some of my first finds from Jim's place;

Some may find it a little odd collecting other peoples old photographs but these were once a treasured memory to someone. It seems horrible to let them gather dust in some old store. 
This woman in this photograph makes me think. She was someone’s daughter, possibly a sister, or a wife or even a mother. Did she achieve what she set out to in life? Was she proud of her life? Does she still have family left in the world?
As for the bottle of poison, how awesome?!. I’m thinking of filling it with something posionous looking & putting a cork in the top for decoration. Snow white style
